Loom Indigo

Loom Indigo is a deep, cool indigo-blue textile with a softly charcoal cast. Its close plain weave creates a quiet surface interest, visible as fine horizontal and tonal texturing across the swatch.

About this fabric

The colour sits between midnight blue and blue-grey, with a muted depth rather than a bright or saturated finish. A tightly packed, even weave gives the surface a subtly nubby appearance, while the low sheen keeps the fabric feeling calm and understated. The darker yarn variation helps the indigo read as dimensional instead of flat in the close-up image. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this cool indigo-blue in a contemporary room where its charcoal undertone can anchor pale stone, warm timber or softer blue accents. The restrained plain weave also works well on a tailored chair, sofa or full-length curtain where texture matters more than pattern.

A cool, deep indigo plain weave that brings quiet depth to contemporary upholstery, cushions or curtains.

Pairs well with

Loom Indigo is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
